  • FALLS PREVENTION CLASSES

    This class incorporates standing balance, leg strength and bone stimulating exercises to treat osteoporosis and osteopenia, using body weight and small exercise props. Unfortunately the consequences of a fall can be catastrophic such as a fractured hip or prolonged hospital stays. Advancing age does not mean that you need to become inactive. Standing activity improves bone density, makes leg and trunk muscles strong and can improve balance and reduce your risk of a fall. Join our fall prevention and osteoporosis class to increase safety and fitness.

    Classes Tuesday @ 11.00am.

    $36.00 per Class. Health Fund rebates apply.
